  1. Now, Sherry, was that the train or the house you can still outrun? (Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)

    I think it’s time to get those passenger trains arunnin’ again, don’t you?

    And, while we’re at it, let’s have Richie Havens make a comeback, too!

    Amen.

  2. Do I see a Bird House on a post and Barb Wire fience? Must have a herd of cattle.

  3. Well, Rosalie, considering the current state of my hips, I’m doing well to outrun my house. But you remind me of a story my Mama used to tell me…

  4. Ah, Max, that’s our mailbox, which is a rather strange looking affair because of a local sport involving baseball bats and mailboxes. The land and the fence belongs to our neighbor, though our fences aren’t in much better shape. I used to have half-a-dozen or so of Daddy’s old Angus cows but when I went back to work full time I couldn’t manage them. TR does not do cattle. It hurt me a lot to have to sell the cows but there’s more money in this basement office, not to mention health insurance.

  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 1 day ago
